The chemistry and physics of intercalated layered 2D materials (2DMs) are the focus of this review article. Special attention is given to intercalated bilayer and few-layer systems. Thereby, intercalated few-layers of graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides play the major role; however, also other intercalated 2DMs develop fascinating properties with thinning down. Here, we briefly introduce the historical background of intercalation and explain concepts, which become relevent with intercalating few-layers. Then, we describe various synthetic methods to yield intercalated 2DMs and focus next on current research directions, which are superconductivity, band gap tuning, magnetism, optical properties, energy storage and chemical reactions. We focus on major breakthroughs in all introduced sections and give an outlook to this emerging field of research.
插层二维材料（2DMs）的化学和物理性质是这篇综述文章的重点。特别关注插层双层和少层体系。因此，插层的少层石墨烯和过渡金属二硫属化物起着主要作用；然而，其他插层二维材料随着层数减少也展现出迷人的性质。在这里，我们简要介绍插层的历史背景，并解释与插层少层相关的概念。然后，我们描述制备插层二维材料的各种合成方法，接下来重点关注当前的研究方向，即超导性、带隙调控、磁性、光学性质、能量存储和化学反应。我们关注所有介绍部分的重大突破，并对这个新兴研究领域进行展望。
